        Anyone ever watch the series “Breaking Bad?” Love, love, loved it. Intense, head shakingly stupid mistakes made by some of the characters but fun. One of the characters from that movie was the lawyer named Saul. I’ve never really known any lawyers on a personal basis, and I’m sure there are a lot…

    Busy day, yet again, but a good one. No, I didn’t get to the fiction, but that’s life, eh? Need to tweak my schedule more to get in more bits of writing without sacrificing sleep…’cause I need my beauty rest…and lots of it!   Learning Nick Stephenson, creator of Your First 10,000 Readers, has a series…

      Quite annoyed with myself…messed up and forgot to post last night. Oh well. Let’s keep the streak going tonight, shall we? 😀 To help me stay focused on what I need to learn about writing fiction…which is…everything…I’ve decided to break down this year into themes. I don’t have it all decided yet…in fact it…

      Finally, sitting down to write this at a decent hour. Yeah me! 🙂 The Day Up at just after 6 am, after spending an hour later the night before than I’d wanted to look for one of my dog’s collars. In the snow. Yeah. Not fun, and no I didn’t find it, even though…

      There are people dying in this world right now for their Savior…my “problems” pale in comparison So I’m hoping the good streak I started on Monday and Tuesday this week of getting my word targets done weren’t just a fluke.

    I was so pleased with myself. Two nights in a row I’d written more than 100% of my thousand word daily goal.  I wrote it in Focus Writer, saved it on my computer and as thumb drive.  Nothing can go wrong right?  Yeah 😏 Don’t know exactly how it happened but all of yesterday’s writing…

    Sometimes I ramble and sometimes I’m spot on with whatever I’m talking about, but the main reason behind this blog is to keep myself accountable to my own goals, and yes, dreams. Come along for the ride if you like…if you dare….muah ha, ha, ha!   My day: Still on vacation, so it wasn’t a…
